Aoraki/Mount Cook

15 January 2008 | Lake Pukaki

The iconic New Zealand view. Aoraki/Mount Cook from the other end of Lake Pukaki.
This is another glacial lake, though the levels were raised in the late 1970's as part of a complex hydro-electric power scheme.

Captain Sarah and Chief Engineer/Mate Pip moved on board in 2003 and finally made the break in 2006. Roaring Girl, launched in 1977, has already been round the world once, and has a lot more seamiles than the two of us put together.

These pages aim to bring you our adventures as they happen, as well as Roaring Girl's sailing prowess. And to show off Pip's silverwork as well.
